Dealing with an abortion

[ArtfulPearlSeal]

Hi.

I found out I was pregnant again few weeks ago, and DP and I decided that a 3rd would be too much. We already have a 1yo and a 3yo, and couldn't handle or afford a 3rd.

I took the medication a few days ago.
Both practically and financially I know that it's the right decision, but I'm struggling to come to terms with it.

I took the last few days off work and have spent them crying, but feel pathetic about it because it was a choice I made...so what right do I have to feel this way? I just feel like I'm being stupid and it was selfish of me to make the decision I did.

Sorry for the brain dump.

OP, this sounds like a lot to process - have you got your partner's support? Or a friend or family member you could confide in?

I think you just have to remind yourself that your kids are your priority and this decision was so you could give them more time and financial stability.

I can't say I've been through this myself so don't know if it will feel less painful anytime soon, but I hope it does. 💐💛

You're not being selfish. This is a big deal and it is your right to feel as you feel and honour that as you wish to. It should not pass by as nothing xxx hugs to you
